Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5 , an embodiment of a slide stop lever 5 ofthis invention is adapted to be applied to a gun 100. The gun 100includes a gun body 1, a barrel 2, a Glock 43 series slide 3, and a SIGP365 magazine 4. Here, Glock 43 series is not limited to only Glock 43.For example, Glock 43 series includes a plurality of models such asGlock 43, Glock 43X, and Glock 48. That is, the Glock 43 series slide 3may be a Glock 43 slide, a Glock 48 slide, or a Glock 43X slide (whichis the same as the Glock 43 slide).

The gun body 1 has a barrel receiving section 11 that extends in afront-rear direction, a grip section 12 that extends downward from arear portion of the barrel receiving section 11, an internal space 13that is formed in the barrel receiving section 11 and the grip section12, and an accommodating groove 14 that is formed downwardly at a topside of the barrel receiving section 11 and that is communicated withthe internal space 13. The barrel 2 is disposed at a front end of thebarrel receiving section 11.

The Glock 43 series slide 3 is disposed on a top portion of the barrelreceiving section 11 of the gun body 1, and is forwardly and rearwardlymovable. During the firing of a bullet 200, the Glock 43 series slide 3is pushed rearward by a rear force generated by the firing.Specifically, a first resilient member (not shown) is connected betweenthe Glock 43 series slide 3 and the gun body 1. The first resilientmember is used for forwardly restoring the Glock 43 series slide 3relative to the gun body 1 to allow a next bullet 200 to be loaded. TheGlock 43 series slide 3 has a latching groove 31 disposed at a bottomside thereof and corresponding to the accommodating groove 14.

The SIG P365 magazine 4 is inserted into an internal space 13 of the gunbody 1 from a bottom portion of the grip section 12 of the gun body 1.It should be noted herein that, the gun body 1 may be exemplified as aGlock 43 series gun body, with the shape of the grip section 12 beingmodified to fit with the SIG P365 magazine 4. The SIG P365 magazine 4includes a magazine body 41 having a bullet space 411, a follower 42disposed in the bullet space 411, being upwardly and downwardly movable,and having a pushing part 421, and a second resilient member 43connected between the magazine body 41 and the follower 42. The secondresilient member 43 is used for returning the follower 42 upwardly topush the bullet 200 inside the bullet space 411.

The slide stop lever 5 is disposed in the internal space 13 of the gunbody 1. The slide stop lever 5 has a pivoting section 51 pivoted to thebarrel receiving section 11 of the gun body 1 about a pivot pole (notshown), a latching section 52 extending rearwardly from the pivotingsection 51, and a mounting section 53 extending forwardly from thepivoting section 51 and mounted with a third resilient member 54. Thethird resilient member 54 is used to abut downwardly against an abutmentstructure (not shown) in the internal space 13 of the gun body 1 fordriving the latching section 52 to swing downwardly. The latchingsection 52 has a rod portion 521 extending rearwardly from the pivotingsection 51, a latching portion 522 protruding outwardly from the rodportion 521, an operating portion 523 disposed at an end of the latchingportion 522 and extending downwardly, and a pushed portion 524protruding inwardly from the rod portion 521 and located lower than atop of the rod portion 521. To further be specific, in this embodiment,the rod portion 521 of the latching section 52 of the slide stop lever 5is plate-shaped, and has a top end 521 a and a bottom end 521 b. Thepushed portion 524 is formed integrally with the bottom end 521 b of therod portion 521. However, it should be noted that, in other embodiments,the rod portion 521 may be other structures other than a plate-shapedstructure, such as a columnar structure. The pushed portion 524 may alsobe non-integrally formed with the rod portion 521 at any position lowerthan the top of the rod portion 521 and is not limited to thisembodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4-7 , pivoting of the pivoting section 51drives the latching section 52 to swing up and down relative to the gunbody 1 between an initial position (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ) and an abutmentposition (see FIGS. 6 and 7 ). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the bulletspace 411 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 is filled with a plurality of thebullets 200. The latching portion 522 is received in the accommodatinggroove 14 of the gun body 1 when the latching section 52 is in theinitial position. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , after the last one of thebullets 200 within the bullet space 411 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 isfired, the follower 42 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 moves upward to thetop of the magazine body 41, and the pushing part 421 of the follower 42of the SIG P365 magazine 4 is exposed from the top of the magazine body41. At this time, the pushed portion 524 is pushed upwardly by thepushing part 421 of the follower 42 of the SIG P365 magazine 4 to moveupward from the initial position to the abutment position. When thelatching section 52 is in the abutment position, the latching portion522 can be received in the latching groove 31 of the Glock 43 seriesslide 3 as the Glock 43 series slide 3 slides rearwardly due to the rearforce, thereby preventing the Glock 43 series slide 3 from slidingforwardly. Thereafter, the user can re-fill the SIG P365 magazine 4 withbullets 200 and push the operating portion 523 of the slide stop lever 5to release the Glock 43 series slide 3 and to load the next bullet 200.

In summary, the pushed portion 524 of the slide stop lever 5 of thisinvention is located lower than the top of the rod portion 521 to bepushed by the pushing part 421 of the SIG P365 magazine 4, so as tomatch the SIG P365 magazine 4 to each other. Further specifically, theslide stop lever 5 of this invention can simultaneously match the SIGP365 magazine 4 and the Glock 43 series slide 3.
